Grammar school for Charas!

[DarkFlood2]

Okay.. I'm tired of people not being able to use grammar correctly. You are on a forum and therefore have plenty of time to spell out your words and add proper punctuation! I'll try to keep this simple and short.. But I'll also try to outline the basics.

CHAPTER 1: CAPITALIZATION
Capital letters are larger variations of regular letters. They always come after a period, and they always in first person references (I, I'll, I'm, etc.) Capital letters should never be used to write out everything.. If it helps, tear out your capslock key. Unlike italics, Capital letters cannot be used to add emphasis on a word.

CHAPTER 2: PERIODS AND COMMAS
The period is used to end a sentence. After every period comes a capital letter. (see above) Before placing a period, your sentence must have an action word(verb) and a subject(noun). IE: "Jacob runs to the store." would be acceptible. However, "Jacob to store." is not. Commas are used to show pauses or seperate listed items. A comma is best used when you know how to use it. If you don't know, don't use a comma.

CHAPTER 3: THE APOSTROPHE
Apostrophies are used to make words shorter. For example, you can make "It is" become "It's". The apostrophe is also used to show posession, "It's" being the exception.  Here is a list of acceptible and unacceptible uses of the apostrophe:

1) "That is the cat's ball." - acceptible, shows a single entity's posession.
2) "That ball is the cats'." - acceptible, shows that multiple entities posess the item.
3) "Those cat's are cute". - UNACCEPTIBLE! WHERE DID YOU LEARN THIS??
Other unacceptible, yet common apostrophe uses:
agree'd                    image's
(and others but I'm too tired to insert them)

I'll edit this when I feel like it... Gonna go to sleep now...
Hope this helps all of you grammatically challenged people out there!

[Archem]

Dude... I like grammar, and spelling, too, but this is just ridiculously pointless... Go choke on a chicken bone.

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

Also dude, i dont spell allthat well correctly but if you are gonna make this kind of threads make them more serious with more stuff.

"Jacob runs." < sentence. "Run to the store." < Sentence, but no direct subject OMG. but you would find that sentence only acceptable in special occasions =x

see i know the english language! but sincerely, i am too lazy when it comes to typing.

Eh, I might be wrong, but isn't the direct subject an understood "you" in "Run to the store." ?

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you're gonna talk about spelling, you should make sure your words are spelled out correctly. I didn't go through all of it, but I did notice one of the most commonly mispelled words. Separate. It's 'a' after p, not 'e'. Just remember, "separate" is "a rat" of a word to spell. :p

Dude; it's not,"noun," and,"verb," it's;"subject," and,"predicate."
And I'm probably several years younger than you. This made me giggle.

Yeah, those rapists are smart. They can track you down by knowing your age alone.

Internet rapists usually only target children or teenages.
